Re: replicate data between 2 servers and 1 client

OK. I installed glusterfs-2.0.0rc on servers and client but If I changed data on Client, data no chaged in two servers. Data changed on server1 only. I need data changed on two servers when I changed data on client and when I changed data on server1 or server2, changed data on other server and client.

My configuration:

###server1:
#execution command:  glusterfsd -f /usr/local/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol
#file config:

volume brick
    type storage/posix
    option directory /home/export

end-volume

volume server
    type protocol/server
    option transport-type tcp/server
    subvolumes brick
    option auth.ip.brick.allow * # Allow access to brick
end-volume

###server2:
#execution command:  glusterfsd -f /usr/local/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

#file config:

volume brick
    type storage/posix
    option directory /home/export
end-volume

volume server
    type protocol/server
    option transport-type tcp/server
    subvolumes brick

    option auth.ip.brick.allow * # Allow access to brick
end-volume

###client:
#execution command:  glusterfs -f /usr/local/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol  /mnt/glusterfs
#config file:

volume brick1

    type protocol/client
    option transport-type tcp/client # for TCP/IP transport
    option remote-host 192.168.240.227   # IP address of server1
    option remote-subvolume brick    # name of the remote volume on server1

end-volume

volume brick2
    type protocol/client
    option transport-type tcp/client # for TCP/IP transport
    option remote-host 192.168.240.228   # IP address of server2
    option remote-subvolume brick    # name of the remote volume on server2

end-volume

volume ha
   type cluster/ha
   subvolumes brick1 brick2
end-volume

Regards and thanks for help ;)

you need to install glusterfs-2.0.0rc1, glusterfs v1.3.7 doesn't have HA

glusterfs send me this error:

2009-02-12 10:00:23 E [xlator.c:117:xlator_set_type] libglusterfs/xlator: dlopen(/usr/lib/glusterfs/1.3.7/xlator/cluster/ha.so): /usr/lib/glusterfs/1.3.7/xlator/cluster/ha.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What packages should I install to get ha.so?

Thanks for your help. Forgive me for my bad English

As a side note, you can avoid ha if you're using replicate on client side.

Hi Alain,

In the configuration you are using, replicate is on server side which means servers replicate among themselves. If the server which the client is currently communicating with goes down, client has to 'switch' to the other server. This functionality can be provided by using High availability (HA) on client side.

on client the configuration can be

volume client1
  type protocol/client
  .
  .
  option remote-host server1
end-volume

volume client2
  type protocol/client
  .
  .
  option remote-host server2

end-volume

volume ha
  type cluster/ha
  subvolumes client1 client2
end-volume

regards,

Hi, 

 I have a problem. I need to replicate data between three machines. Two of machines are servers and one is a client. 

 If I change data in client, also changed in the two servers. And if I change any data on a server1, also changed in the other server2 and
client. 

I have done tests with the tutorials of glusterfs, but I don´t have good results.

 Someone who can help me?
